Someone provided this URL a while ago, for a site with links to MANY
online dictionaries.
http://www.facstaff.bucknell.edu/rbeard/diction.html
I dutifully bookmarked the section with the Spanish dictionaries, but
somehow never went back to look at it more closely. Tonight, I was
puzzling over two different words that both mean "cabbage", and
decided to see if something online could help. I surfed on over, and was
floored by what I found. The Spanish section contains the 1992 edition
of the dictionary of the Royal Spanish Academy, and a searchable
facsimile of an early 18th century Spanish dictionary. Okay, both of
these are more recent than the materials I'm trying to translate, but they
give me a *heck* of a lot more detail and context than the
Spanish/English desk dictionary I've been working with.
Some of the other languages are exciting, too. There's a searchable
version of the 1694 edition of the dictionary of the Academie Francaise
(and two later editions). There are dictionaries for Catalan and medieval
Latin and Gothic and Icelandic and Low German and... am I babbling?
Anyway, whoever posted that wonderful URL to this this, THANK YOU,
and may the diety of your choice shower blessings on you and yours...
